WASHINGTON NEWS.
What Secretary Bayard win Recon-
mend TO Congress.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Secretary Bay
ards recommendations to Congress this year
will be substantially the same as contained
tanned in his report last year. He will rec
ommend even more strongly than before the
abolition of the fee system at all the consul
ates and the substitution of a regular salary
instead. Last winter Congress acted upon
his recommendation in the case of twenty
four consulates, mainly in England, France,
Germany and Canada. There remains about
sixty others in which it is desirable this
change should be made. The Secretary will
also show that where consular officers are
paid salaries of $1,000 per annum and per-
mitted to engage in trade that it will be bet
ter to allow each consul an additional $1,000 a
year and abolish entirely the tradeI privilege,
Mr. Bayard believes if this is done that the
savings to the customs service which will re-
suit from closer attention by the Consul to
the duties OF his office in the way of prevent
ing underyaluations, ETC., will more than
compensate for the increased expense of the
consulate. Moreover, it will be argued that
continuance of the fee system in many of
the Continental countries is serious bar
rier to the social standing of our consular of
iicers. The fee is regarded as a. gratuity.
Where fee office is changed to salary
basis an increased respect for the dignity of
the Office is at once noticeable.
The appointment Of two inspectors of con-
sulates at a salary of $4,000 and all expenses
will also be recommended, as was the case
last year. The establishment of cable tele-
graphic service between San Francisco and
Honolulu will also form one of the Secreta-
ry's recommendations.

Ferdlnand's Career.

The course Of absolutism pursued by
Prince Ferdinand since bis arrival in Bulga-
ria has aroused a majority Of the. European
newspapers to declare that he has under
taken an adventure that has fiagrantly vio-
lated the treaty Of Berlin and outraged pub
lie rights. This almost unanimous attitude
Of the influential press Of the Continent Is Of
very recent origin. and the fact that many Of
the papers holding these views are semi-Of-
fetal organs, and their articles presumably
inspired, argue III for the continuance OF
Prince Ferdinand's career as a ruler. The
changed attitude Of the German press Is due
not so much to Russian influence as TO real
ization Of the incontestabIe justice Of the
Cars claims.

Of excited discussion in the Hobbies of Par
lament this evening. The GladstOnians as
sert that the government Is unjust and iui-
prudent. The Parneilites say that the gov
ment wish to create trouble and outrage In
ireland during the winter, and that the pro-
clamation win force the EXTREMIST measures
against the League. They say that the gov
ernment VIII shortly bitterly repent their ae-
tion.
Mr.. Parnell said the action Of the govern
ment In proclaimlng the League was a gra-
titultous insult to the Irish, considering the
present condition Of Ireland. IL was merely

DEATH OF REV. P. F. AUGUST.
from Richmond Christian Advocate.

from Richmond Christian Advocate
He died, after an illness of week, at
the home of his niece, brakes Branch,
Charlotte county, Va, September 90th.
He had been in Indifferent health for
some years, and not in the active minis
try, though preaching as opportunity
offered. He was a native of Fredericks-
burg and Joined the Virginia Conference
in 1S46. He became a chaplain in the
Confederate Army November, 1861, and
surrendered at Appomattox. OF him
were written these true words: The
chivalrous cavalrvman, General Stuart,
used to sign his uame yours TO count
on If Frank August is not of that
sort, then none of that sort is among us.
He never smote with look or word any
absent man. The thought of any inter
est with which he was charged receiv
ing hurt through his slackness never
occurred to any Church or army official.
His bones would have been by the sea
gate at Pompeii. The crowd might have
rushed in fight for safety, but he would
have never moved. Such Is August.
| He was chaplain when Lee surrendered.
! A quiet, spare gentleman withal. The
| Church has a true, son in him; the Con
fereuce member of high qualities.
He preached few days before his
death, and went jOyfully and in faith tC
his reward. His comrades in the Con
ference lament him as a loss TO the sum
of virtue and zeal in their ranks.
He never married. He wae quiet, re
ser we'd, and without wish to join tht
business of Conference proceedings.
He was probably in his sixty seventh
year. He did not care to state his age
and has often refused To sit for like
ness. There is none OF him known K
this writer.
He was buried in Hollywood, of thi
city (Richmond).
